Snow Day Number 6

This winter we had now had a total of six snow days. It's been very weird.

The week before Christmas break the kids lost 2 days due to snow. In my opinion, it was a total over reaction and the kids should have gone. Then this week we have missed 4 days. Yep, tomorrow is Thursday and school is canceled. The kids have yet to go this week. Monday was total crap as they canceled school in anticipation of snow...which didn't come until that evening. I'll give them Tuesday and Wednesday as there was a good deal of ice on the roads, but today it got nice and sunny and all the ice melted off the roads. Everything looked fine, but nope, another day home. I say just go ahead and cancel Friday. It's pointless.

The kids will have to make up these days. Their Spring Break has been cut in half and two days have been tacked onto the end of the year. It's a good thing I have made no plans. Many parents are upset but have decided to just take their kids on vacation anyway.

The kicker to it all is that next Monday is a holiday and then next Friday is a mandated teacher workday so they are only in school 3 days next week! With the twins it's not a horrible thing since they are so young, but with the holidays and now all these other days off, they are really falling off their schedules and it will not be an easy transition back.
